“…Recently, some scholars (Cabrita & Maxwell 2017: 21-22) have begun to critique World Christianity scholarship for its fixation on particularity and its disregard for globalizing and integrative forces within the Christian tradition, such as ecumenical organizations, Bible societies, and missionary societies. Others, such as Arun Jones (2014) have pointed out that much 'World Christianity' research continues to work along bipolar lines of thinking, that find their origin in the colonial period, continually producing and reproducing binaries such as 'missionary' versus 'indigenous' , 'the West' versus 'the Rest' , 'North' versus 'South' . Again others, such as Chandra Mallampalli (2017: 164), have drawn attention to the conceptual entanglement of 'World Christianity' as a field of study with the history of Christianity in Africa and query its usefulness for the academic study of Christianity elsewhere.…”
